Latest NFPost.com Mock

Mostly I'm making a whole post about this because I'm tired of seeing that BS dream post as the top post. Editors if you want to prevent this site from becoming a juvenile chicagobears.com message board, you might want to nip immature crap like that in the bud. That post is on the level of maturity and relevence as one of those fake "We just traded for Cutler!" titles, with a story inside of "made you look".

Anyways, on to the mock. It's a 3 round mock, and I don't hate it so I'll pass it on.

Round 1: Jeremy Maclin. I think Maclin has a real chance of falling to us on draft day. The real draft, as opposed to concensus that builds in mocks before the draft, puts more emphasis on lineman, and less on RBs/WRs. Maclin's off-season has been solid, but unspectacular. I think there will be more of a run on OTs, and less on one on WRs before us.

Round 2: Herman Johnson. I like the idea of getting a big body to take over at RG. This would complete an overhaul of the o-line that saw us get much younger and much bigger in one off-season. Louis Delmas is still on the board, however, and I think we need a playmaker at FS more than we need a RG. Still, I don't hate the pick.

Round 3.1: Mitch King. This guy is a DT from Iowa. I don't know much about him, other than he's a one-gap, high-motor DT, but I think we have bigger needs, even on the D-line, than DT.

Round 3.2: Stephen McGee. Interesting prospect. He is 6'3", 220, ran a 4.6 40 at the combine. Supposed to be a very good guy and tremendous leader. Pretty accurate (59.5% for his career). He got hurt his senior year, then never got his job back. Not sure what's up with that, but as a bonus draft pick (he'd be our compensatory pick) I would like it.

Thanks for posting the mock

I agree with the first two rounds; Stephen McGee being a 3rd rounder slipped by me. I figured he’d be a mid-second day guy, same with King. King’s a little undersized, but I could think of worse directions to go.

Thank you for your initial paragraph; I’ll make sure we talk about it.

if Delmas is still on the board in the 2nd

when we pick, we need to take him. he’d be a great value, and even though I like Herman Johnson, Delmas would fill another hole we have (that may be more important than o-line at this point).

If we get Pace

I definitely agree with you. Either Delmas or Sean Smith….personally, I really like Smith. But I wouldn’t be upset if we got Delmas.

A bit of a reach

if JA selects McGee in the third round; i’m pretty sure he would last into day two.

King is a defensive end

I live in Iowa and I am a Hawkeyes fan. Watched every game this year and I think Mitch King projects best as a defensive end. He actually came to Iowa as a linebacker and was forced to the d-line by Abdul Hodge and Chad Greenway. Either way he put on quite a bit of weight to make the transition. He’s only 6’1 so I don’t think his frame has much room to add anymore. That being said, at 280 I think he would get bullied by NFL interior lineman. He might be able to play end in a 3-4 or a run stuffing end in a 4-3. He’s a high energy over-achiever.

That being said, as much as I like the guy, he wouldn’t be a good fit for us. He will find a home and could be successful, just not for the Bears. I would prefer Cody Brown, the OLB from UConn to add a few lbs and play end.
